Asset Tracing for Individuals & Companies
So many companies make the mistake of taking an individual or company to court before doing their proper research. It is wrong to assume the court’s decision will always fall in your favour, even if you believe your case is too strong to lose. It is much better to ensure you know the status of the subject you wish to take to court, before starting legal proceedings. That’s why asset tracing for fraud is so important.
Here at Global Investigations, our private investigators can provide professional asset tracing services for businesses and individuals in the UK and across the world. Our experienced asset tracing team can work with you to identify personal assets and corporate assets hidden anywhere in the world.
Knowing what assets the subject in question has will enable you to see if they are worth suing or not. This essential research will ensure you do not lose a lot of money pursuing a pointless case.
How Asset Tracing Can Help You?
We offer extremely effective asset tracking services to search and locate hidden assets. This private investigation service is offered throughout the UK and overseas. We always work within the parameters you have set us and only ever use legitimate avenues to collect our information. This means everything we find can be legally submitted in court and will serve as evidence to substantiate any claim you make.
For example, if you are involved in divorce proceedings, you may believe your partner is not revealing all of their assets. You have a right to know the truth and we can help you uncover their fraud with our ‘Tracking My Partner’ service.
All of our searches can be carried out in the UK and internationally. We are also fortunate enough to have developed many strong relationships with agents overseas. These relationships are of huge benefit to us and more often than not enable us to uncover assets that have been extremely well-hidden in overseas properties and businesses.

The Key Aspects of Asset Tracing in the UK
- Data Collection: Gathering all accessible information related to the subject, including financial records, transaction histories, property documents, corporate filings, and other relevant data.
- Financial Analysis: Examining and tracing the movement of funds through bank statements, investment accounts, business transactions, and other financial documentation to follow the money trail and reveal hidden assets.
- Document Review: Looking at legal and property documents, like property records, vehicle registrations, and business filings, to establish ownership and follow the movement of assets.
- Investigative Techniques: Using tools like investigative accounting, publicly available information, digital investigations, monitoring techniques, and specialised software to discover assets that are hidden through layered transactions, offshore accounts, or complex setups.
- Cross-Border and Multi-Jurisdictional Coordination: Dealing with the legal challenges of tracing assets across multiple countries and legal systems, which is often necessary due to the global movement of assets.
- Documentation and Reporting: Maintaining a clear record of evidence to ensure it can be used in court and to support legal actions.
Offshore Asset Tracing
Offshore asset tracing often involves complicated financial setups or shell companies.
It’s an important step in situations like fraud cases, divorce settlements, recovering debts, or business disputes, where people or companies may try to hide their wealth abroad to avoid being found.
At Global Investigations, we focus on helping individuals, legal teams, and businesses find and recover hidden or missing assets held abroad.
We use careful investigation methods, discreet information gathering, and an in-depth understanding of the law to uncover assets that may be hidden in offshore bank accounts, shell companies, or overseas trusts.
Assets to Be Presented to the Courts
More often than not, clients will require our information to assist them in resolving a financial settlement. We take great care to ensure all evidence collected and reports produced are of a high standard and can be legally submitted to the courts as evidence. All the evidence we collate is done so in a timely fashion and, of course, will always be genuine and legally obtained.
Asset searches include but are not limited to:
- Property and ownership in the UK and most overseas countries (where name searches are possible)
- Shares – in the UK and overseas
- Stock – machinery and equipment (normally in relation to a business)
- All boats and marine purchases
- Vehicles – any related finance and ownership of them
- Businesses – All those undeclared in the UK and overseas
- Undeclared banking and accounts
- Horse ownership

Asset Recovery Support
The first step in recovering assets, whether they are hidden or stolen, is identifying them. Asset tracing and recovery is a complex process, particularly if it spreads across multiple countries.
Here at Global Investigations, we can assist with securing assets of all kinds, from physical objects to intangible entities like bank accounts. If you’re looking to reclaim assets of any kind, then professional asset identification is essential.
The Importance of Asset Recovery
Lost or hidden assets can cause significant legal and financial problems. For companies, having solid asset recovery plans can help improve cash flow, protect the value of the business, and discourage similar wrongdoings. For individuals, these processes can help restore control over assets in situations like divorce, inheritance disputes, or cases of financial wrongdoing.
At Global Investigations, we understand how complex these matters can be. That’s why we use advanced investigative tools, financial analysis, and legal knowledge to find and recover assets, no matter where they are in the world. Our approach is efficient and professional, making sure our clients get back what is rightfully theirs.
